Proposed Texas constitutional amendments reflect judiciary and prohibition
A dense compilation of joint resolutions proposes amendments to the Texas Constitution in 1887. Items cover prohibition of alcohol with exceptions, legislative pay and mileage, university funding, and a broad overhaul of Article Five creating a unified court system with a Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, district courts, and new judiciary provisions. Each section specifies submission to voters on the first Thursday in August 1887 and required gubernatorial proclamations.
